Wolves have not disappeared yet. Many species have been on the endangered list, but the timber wolf has come back enough that Michigan is considering opening a limited, specially licensed hunt to help manage the population in the Upper Peninsula.

Why did the Yellowstone park kill all of the wolves?

There main source of food either dies out as well of decreased in size.Wolves were common in the entire American West at the time Yellowstone National Park was founded. Government agencies actually paid hunters to kill wolves (and other "bad" animals) until wolves became almost extinct in the Lower 48.The re-introduction of wild wolves into the Yellowstone Eco-system has been a total success in that humans PARTIALLY undid the destruction they unleashed on creation. The boost to winter tourism in the region, in order to see wolves in the wild, has been a HUGE economic benefit to the region -- FAR exceeding any losses due to predation by wolves.

Can you tell me about wolves?

wolves are aggressive animals and lives in packs to survive, some young wolves leave packs to find a mate and make a pack on their own. wolf packs have territories which they live and hunt in and guard the boundaries from other wolves, wolves use body language to communicate, such as, if a wolf with higher ranks than another wolf, than they would have their chests and tail higher than the wolf with lower ranks, the wolf with lower ranks would be in a half lying and half crouching position when another wolf dominates him/her, also they will have their tail down. wolves also howl to communicate and sound the alarm or start a hunt or to mark their territory. wolves guard their boundaries by patrolling daily or pee to mark and sometimes scratch the dirt to put down their signature. also of a wolf gets into their territory, then they sometimes will do a howling contest or get in fights or chase them out.wolves are animals and can come in many different shapes and sizes and colors. wolves are cute to me and hunt for their prey. if you get close to a wolf it won't kill you many people think that they kill you right away but they don't. infact you can make very good friends with a wolf. people hunt them for their fur what mean people!!!!! i love animals alot!!!! my favorite animals are wolfs they are so fuzzy and cute to me!!! people have different thoughts about wolves. if you are a hunter for wolves how dare you kill those beautiful animals!!!!!I side with you there!!!! I love wolves, and (from anime) wolf demons!!!! That's why I have started a wolf demon clan with my friends! We will fight to protect the wolf race!!!!Wolves belong to the Canid family. Since the over hunting in America there are no or few wolves in North America. Wolves thrive in Asia now. They are very social and live in groups called packs. Wolves usually have a litter of four or less pups. During fall wolves find a mate, during winter they move to find a den, then in spring the female gives birth. Wolves come in many different coat colors, black, white, gray, dark orange color, mixed and many more. Wolves are coming extinct and they are protected by the EPA. ~camcamwolfgirl

Legal Status/ProtectionEndangered Species Act (ESA): wolves throughout the Lower 48 United States are listed as endangered except in Minnesota where they are listed as threatened. In Alaska, wolves are not listed under the ESA. Read more about wolves and the Endangered Species Act >>In Wyoming and portions of the Southwest wolves are designated as non-essential experimental populations, which isolates geographically-described groups from other existing populations and offers broader management regulations.
